- Description
- Description
- Adnan Mahmud is a 32–year–old computer scientist. He's originally from Bangladesh is now a program manager for Microsoft in Redmond. He and his wife Nadia are co–founders of a relief organization called Jolkona. The couple isn't paid for their work. They run it out of their kitchen with a group of about 30 volunteers. Adnan volunteers for the foundation on top of the 10 hours a day he spends at Microsoft. The idea for Jolkona (a Bengali word meaning "drop of water") came after Adnan visited his grandfather's grave in Bangladesh. Adnan Mahmud speaks with KUOW's Dave Beck.
